In this special one-year anniversary omnibus episode, the Lutheran Ladies want to know: if you could put one small item in a shoebox that exemplifies the character and lived experience of Lutheran women, what would it be?

Tossing the metaphorical shoebox around their virtual studio, Sarah, Erin, Bri, and Rachel each answer the question in turn, selecting and riffing on a simple, mundane object that is, for them, truly emblematic of “church lady life.”

Which ubiquitous consumer product is the Swiss Army knife of a Lutheran lady’s purse? What do you do when your ladle “runneth over”? What’s better than taking a nap during a sermon? When is a Lutheran lady like a key?

Find answers to these and other riddles in this effervescent celebration of Lutheran womanhood, as you ponder your own answer to the question: what’s in your shoebox?
